Public vs. Private

[SHRED]

And The Winner Is....The Public Sector
BY DAVID MORRIS

Unlike the public sector, the private sector is bred for efficiency. Left to its own devices, it will always find the means to provide services faster, cheaper, and more effectively than will governments.
James Jay Carafano, Private Sector, Public Wars

I suspect the vast majority of Americans would agree with Mr. Carafano. They probably consider the statement self-evident. The facts, however, lead to the opposite conclusion. When not handicapped by regulations designed to subsidize the private sector, the public sector often provides services faster, cheaper and more effectively.

Consider the results of recent privatization initiatives in three key sectors: health, education and national defense.

This article does a good job of dismantling the RW's glorification of the private sector and lies about the public sector.

1. Private business tapping into govt. markets because they can't

really privately operate.... One only has to look at the Health care issues... and why Medicare is on the chopping block to be decimated to the private industry...

2. Private organizations are greed driven

Nothing else matters, efficiency is not a concern if the product or service can be more profitable without it.

GREED drives private sector organizations, ONLY GREED!
